Description

Retro Sydney is a fantastic visual throwback to the 'Harbour City' in the 1950s and 60s, with never-before-seen images gathered by collector of vintage photographs, Ian Collis. Breathtaking photos of Sydney's most valuable landmarks provide a retrospective insight into the architecture, automobiles, fashions and popular pastimes of Sydneysiders of the time. Retro Sydney will have the reader in awe of 1950s and 60s events such as: the Opera House under construction, and after completion; Queen Elizabeth II on her Royal Tour of Australia in 1954; the Royal Easter Show in the 50s and 60s when it was located in Moore Park; old, industrial Pyrmont long before the Star Casino was established; and suburbs we are all familiar with, as they were in the 1950s and 60s.
